Allow Users To Multiply 2 Arrays Using Yasm Assembly Language Assignment Solution

Instructions

Objective

Write a program that allows users to multiply 2 arrays using Yasm assembly language.

Requirements and Specifications

The task in the main section is to explicitly follow the equation and iteratively add -3 to the indexed value in array a, subtract the indexed value in array b by 14 and finally addthese two parts and store the resulting value in memory location result.

You are allowed to use a maximum of three general purpose registers in this lab. You are not allowed to change any values in the memory locations of a and b. Some of the opcodes of use in this lab are:

• mov - moving data from register-register, register-variable etc
• lea - loading the effective address of a variable to a register.
• add - adding two values in registers or in variables.
• sub - subtract two values in registers or in variables
